FYI - Sally's Beauty Supply also carries makeup spatulas. Not sure on the price but the website is showing a 12-count bag. I'll run over to the store tomorrow and check it out.

I second the suggestion to check out this site. As a REALLY new person to BE I found this site extremely information. You can check out colors, get descriptions, and often check to see if a color you're considering is most often used by warm, cool, or neutral BE users (user polls so they're not scientific but better than my guesses!).
Lisa - Remember that wish list I spoke about making...this site helped and it is quite long. :-)

I think the BE goddesses are trying to tell me something...
I've been wanting the Essentual Brow Kit since October, and I FINALLY
plopped down $30 to get it.
So I open it to use it for the FIRST TIME tonight, and guess what happens?
Not only do I DROP the minerals as I'm closing the container, but I
lost ALL of the Minerals.
This happened once before with a container of Warmth, but I only lost
half of it.
I took a pic of how much I have left this time.
I guess the goddesses are telling me my brows are bushy enough...and I
was going to use it for an eye shadow tomorrow!
It took me forever to clean the counter, floor, mats, myself and my clothes.
Woes me,

Hello everyone,
I am interested in trying some BE and need some help in finding out what will cover best. I'm 64, using a "rose petal" shade of Mary Kay lliquid foundation which flakes up on my skin when applied. i have a ruddy complection whick is oily, and very large pores. I started trying to read all the messages in the archives to get some insight and immediately became sooo confused as to what will work for me and what shade i might need. I did read in one jof the earlier messages that someone used something called "clinique pore minimizer" to start. This ring a bell with anyone? I would really appreciate anyone who can guide me in a direction to some samples i might try to find out exactly what i need. I also need to mention i am on disability and my finances are extreamly limited so i dont have a lot of money to experiment with. Whatever information you might need from me about my skin to help me i will gladly furnish, LOL I just dont know how to go about finding out what will
help me. Thanks for any help you might be able to give me, Bash

Good evening ladies!
Has anyone tried the BE self tanner they showed on QVC the other
day? If so, what did you think?
I have a fair complexion and in the past when I tried a tanning bed
it took me about five visits before I looked "normal," let alone
tan. I find it difficult to believe anyone has a more fair
complexion than I do but companies keep making products for these
women so I know they're out there. :-)
I sent an email from Urban Legend's page about the edible body dusts
to my husband's work email. *he he he* He found it this morning and
seemed quite interested. Of course, before he came home I discovered
Lisa had more of those samples so I went ahead and added it to my
order (that is probably going to become my motto around here). When
my hubby got home he said I should order one of them. I told him he
was too late and that I had ordered samples of ALL 15 flavors. LOL
Let's see, to say he was pleased would be an understatement. :-)
I forgot to mention all the other stuff I ordered to him. I don't
know which of us will be more anxious to get Lisa's package.

Hi Vanessa! The pigments are lots of fun! :) I'm glad you are enjoying all the samples you got. You'll have to let us know how you like the Smashbox primer. Thanks, Lisa =)

I am loving the colors of the MAC pigments on your site Lisa!!! I
must resist though, well until at least tomorrow when I see how much
it ends up costing me to get my hair done! Then I know how much extra
spending money I have for the month!
In other news... I am having tons of fun with the body powder
sampler. I am wearing Cotton Candy today and I had caramel on
yesterday. Im also having fun with the eyeshadows I purchased. I
noticed I like them more when I wet the brush. Today Im wearing a
nice assortment of pink on my eye :)
I got my Smashbox primer today in the mail so I will try it tomorrow
and see if I like it or not. if not, I'll send it back to QVC and
find something else!
Ok I have written a novel now...

Today was the day my call center closed and we were all laid off. I
carefully did my makeup with the contents of my infomercial kit
(arrived last night!) and my Goddess kit. My skin was soft and
glowing and my eyes looked great! I am totally in love with Humour
as an eyeliner!
Now keep in mind that most of these people haven't seen me since I
went on medical leave in mid September. I had several people come
up and tell me how wonderful I looked and that my skin just seemed
to be glowing!
If I'm getting all of these compliments now, I can't imagine what
it's going to be like once I start using Clear Radiance! The only
things on my face that weren't BE was my mascara and my lipgloss. I
decided to play it safe and wear some waterproof MAC mascara. I had
just gotten Slide lipgloss in and wore that. Henry says it not only
smells yummy but tastes good when he kisses me. I think I'll keep
wearing it. *grins*
Hugs-
Bliss

Hey Jennifer! OOOHHH I have the perfect color coming in for you! It's a peachy pink shade with very subtle gold shimmers. It will be a little darker than Sorbet and very pretty! It's not named yet, but it should be here by Friday. Keep your eye out for the post of its arrival. ;) I really think you will like this color. Actually if you want you can email me on Friday and I might have a picture of the color to send you. I can even send you a picture of it next to the Sorbet if you remind me. Thanks, Lisa :)
I am a BE user and recently fell in love with Sorbet (thanks to a make-under from Bravon).
I am curious to try the Naturally Flawless colors and was wondering which colors would be like sorbet or one shade darker.
Also-is chart to compare which colors are similar- I know there are pictures, but sometimes it is hard to tell

This is coming from an admitted chocolate and Be/Bf addict.
If it's not my son almost taking a bite out of my chocolate soap sample, the class mom's watching me sniffing little sample jars while waiting to pick up my kids, or
it's my husband finding and getting to sample the above sugary Powders....
It's topping that off with them barging into the bathroom, finding the sugar container sitting on the counter, as I'm smearing sugar-laced cleanser all over my face... Their jaws drop to the floor in utter amazement.
"What are you doing!!"

I really like them both and I do think BF has better
coverage.
I have dark circles and my undereye area tends to get
dry.. BF seems to not settle as much and look cakey,
and I can put it directly under my eyes; whereas I
can't do that with BEsc at all.
If BE makes you itchy, or in my case it feels like my
skin's being poked by needles (if you're hot or it's
humid out) BF won't do that.
I like either the shimmer or matte finishing powder..
both work great.
Hope this helps. :-)

So, is anyone in the group in Iowa by chance? I'd love to learn more
about how to mix and use the BE products in person. I'm pretty much
a hands on learner and the descriptions of how to apply some of the
stuff online is difficult for me to grasp.
OK girls I need your opinion. Tell me how you like BF versus BE. I
can wear the BE but not the mineral veil. I thought I would try the
BF just to see how I like it. Also I have not tried any shadows or
blush yet. How do these compare to the old "in the case shadows and
blushes? As I have said before I sell Arbonne and love their makeup
but this is so easy and quick to put on. Now keep in mind I am 53 so
I need all the coverage I can get. I understand the BF gives more
coverage.What do you think?
Kris
Leora,
Great poll! :0)
I looked through my "stock pile" and relized
I have quite a few of Lisa's BFs, so this is a hard
one.
I'm always wondering how everyone's favorites would
look on me, so if this helps...
Undertones: cool
Hair: Med. Brown, blonde & auburn highlights
Eyes: green/blue
I have a lot of favorites, sorry this might be a small
novel by the time I'm done. :0)
I really like Priceless liner and Defy shadow (I mix
them for an awesome liner).
I wore Mesmerize liner as my shadow, and as my liner
on the lower lid only, today. Along with Well
Rested/Gossamer mix.
I swore I would never wear the blues and purples
(horrid flash backs to the 80's and my funky Azziza
eye shadow collection paired with my neon blue mascara
and liner) but I really like the Spunky and Voltage
liner, as well as Smashing, Pixy and Iced Dreams
Shadows. I usually foil these so they last longer.
And then of course there's the blushes: A'mour, Pamper
and my most favorite of the three, Heartfelt.
These three make great lip colors as well.
I almost never use my BE foundation or mineral veil, I
use the BF foundations (with a little Clear Radiance
and Gossamer mixed in) and the Shimmering finishing
powder. I really do think the BF foundation conceals
more than Bare Esc.
As if you can't tell, I'm sold on her line. :0) I'm
just estatic to be able to enjoy all the colors of
both, but with the foundation and finishing powder I
don't have to deal with the incredible itching that
Bare Esc. can cause.
Now, if she ever stops selling these ... oh banish the
thought!
Have a great night!
Mich
Ok Guys.............I missed most of the show. Please describe the
now and zen for me.. Please oh please! Sounds very interesting.
Jerri
I am intrigued by the colors, but not enough to buy a full size.
Also, did you get the order that I placed last night?
ordered just for you today?? Zen and Now --- told you I wouldn't
forget about ya! Lisa :)
such a great light shade. It is probably my favorite eyeshadow, I use
it almost everyday. Works really well for right under the brow, or I
brush it all over to help blend.
I could never get the foundations to work for me..
none of them were light enough.
But I wear their Neutralizing Concealer (lavender
which I think is discontinued?)every day, and use
their Oil Free makeup remover every night. It doesn't
hurt my eyes or mess up my contacts at all. It even
removes permanent marker from a 2 year old's face. :0)
LOL.
Mich
In honor of Lisa's BF sale, I want to know what everyone's favorites are for Lisa's BF line. I have two favorites, but I don't have a third favorite to use for the sale.
Amour Blush - this is a pretty pink, I use it for eyeshadow as much as I do for blush.
Haze Eyeshadow - I use this with my Goddess kit. I put Haze on my lid, trust under the brow, and Intuition for the crease.
I also have Glam and I like it, but it is so similar to my BE Celestine, that I don't want a full size of it.

I am so glad to have found this group! I'm suck a geek and didn't
want to ask a lot of stupid questions so I started off reading the
very first posts. Then I realized everyone else seemed to have the
same "stupid" questions that I did in the beginning. :-)
I am excited to get my sample kit and get going. I saw BE on QVC
yesterday and the models all looked so polished. I would love to be
able to acheive that look without a lot of make up on.
I've kind of got a Mary Kay/Cover Girl thing going on right now.
I've ALWAYS (since I started wearing make up when I was 12 about 20
some years ago) worn liquid make up. I also have a very light
complexion. As far as foundation I wear Cover Girl (apparently I'm
the only one in the world who doesn't like the MK foundation). I'm
blessed with eyes that change colors based on what I wear so I have
a lot of flexibility there. I tend to wear mainly cool colors...lots
of variations of purple, some blues, and a gray color.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I should start off with? I
ordered the light sample kit and I'm not sure if I should invest in
the more expensive brushes now or not. Also, should I buy some empty
jars now or wait awhile? I'm guessing that I'm going to need to
blend the 1.2 and 2 foundation. What's the difference between a jar
and a sifter?
Thanks!
Rhonda
I've never actually used MK, so I can't tell you one way or the
other....but I appear to be the only one who's never tried MK, though
I've used every OTHER type of makeup.

I think the 1.2/2 will work just fine on you.

I'm not sure which one your talking about, go to www.marykay.com and
see whats available now. They tend to change products a lot I've

Glad to be of service. Look for her recipes under
FoodTV then click on or type in Rachael Ray. We have
basic TV or cable . Look for here again at FOODTV.
Hope this helps. Claudia
I noticed from previous posts that some people use Mary Kay for skin
care. I am an authorized MK consultant, I don't do a lot of sales,
mainly just buy for myself, family and 1 or 2 friends. Occasionaly I
sell to someone I don't know just by luck. I'm not in it to get rich,
I like the products. I asked Lisa if she minded if I made a make this
offer, and she was OK with it. For this wonderfull group of women, I
am offering an "Easter Sale", 25% off of retail, plus shipping,
please don't go tell everyone you know, this is just intended for us.
I don't stock a lot of product, so if anyone is interested, let me
know by say, April 8, and I will place a "group order". I'm not set
up for credit cards or pay pal, so we'll be dealing in checks or
moneyorders. I'm not looking to take customers away from other
consultants, this is just a one time thing, maybe if it goes good, we
can do it again later. It's a nice way to try MK if you haven't.
Oh thank you!! I lost my MK consultant just a year
ago. I really love the old body soap or cleasing gel.
I love the smell. i ordered one on line from a women
in Hawaii! Cost more to send than to buy. If i could
get a bottle i would be happy!!! Claudia
According to the literature, you can use it for oily to dry skin and
also for sensitive skin. You can go to www.marykay.com, I won't
bother with my link on that, too long, to read about it.
Thanks Claudia. :0)
I love cooking, but sometimes you just hit this wall
when it comes to ideas.. plus with 4 kids you always
have one that doesn't like what you've made.
We've only got the basic, basic cable so we don't get
that channel, but I'm going to see if she has a
website I could check out.
Thanks again for all the tips..my family thanks you
too. LOL.

Just to let all of you know, my dermatologist told me that instead of the dermabrasion kits that are so popular now, just to mix a teaspoon or so of regular table sugar into your cleanser once or twice a week. This offers the exfoliating benefits as well as alpha hydroxy sugar acids. This is much gentler on your face and your budget. I promise it works, try it!!!!! Sandy:)
I'll cancel my wait list too! I wanted the Zen & Now also, but
already have the brushes:) Keep one for me!!!!
Hey V! Nope, they weren't waitlisted. She said they should be here by the 1st. :) I got Dragonfly too, but it was waitlisted. So go cancel that waitlist. ;)

Jerri,
The one thing I LOVE about BE is that the minerals are so versatile.
You can do anything you can think of with these minerals!
Here are a few things I do with my minerals:
Use Liners as shadows
Use Shadows as liners
Use Glimmers or glimpses as liners
Mix two colors together (any two!) to get a new color that's ALL YOURS
to use as a shadow or liner!
Use your BLUSH as a shadow! Compassion from the Goddess Kit works great!
Is your blush to red or pink? Add a bit of SOFT BLACK, FIREFLY,
HOTTIE or other darker color to give it a different shade. Now you
have your own personal shadow, liner and glimmer.
How about using your LIP LINER as a eye liner? Most lip and eye
liners double, I use my EARTH lip liner as eye liner all the time.
Mix some of your BLUSH or PINK, RED or BROWN glimmer,glimpse or shadow
with some LIP BALM, BLISTEX, or other lip product you love (Burt's
Bees maybe?) for a tingly personalized lip color!
What about WARMTH as an eyeshadow? Mix it with DOWNTOWN for a sparkly
new color.
Apply your matte shadow as normal then FOIL (means applying wet) CLEAR
RADIANCE or other neutral glimmer/glimpse or glittery shadow over it
for a muted color with some sparkle.
Use Clear Radiance on your neck and chest, (especially when you're
wearing a low cut top or swimsuit!
Do you have an eye color you NEVER use? What's wrong with it? Too
dark? Add some CULTURED PEARL, SNOW, ECSTASY, DOVE, CLAY or other
light color to it to make it lighter.
Too light? Add WARMTH, SOFT BLACK, BLUE BLACK, AMETHYST, HOTTIE or
other dark color to make it darker.
Do you have a lipstick you hate? Lighten or darken it with an eye
color mixed with lip balm. (Apply lipstick, then apply your mixture
with a lip brush.) Tah dah, now one lipstick and your eye shadows
gives you MILLIONS of possibliltes...(though you may not like all
million, you can find the ones you like, or just make enough for one
application to keep things changing each day).
I bought a TON of Max Factor, Revlon and Cover Girl lipsticks this
week...my store had them on 99 cents clearance because they've been
discontinued...I hate the reds, but I cut it up, mix some lip balm and
some HOPE, and mash it up, tah dah, my own lip color palette!
Just a few ideas.
Have fun.

exfoliating! It was easy to use, didn't take much product at all.
Just aply to wet face with fingers, gentle circle motions to rub it
in for 1-2 minutes then rinse off. Then step 2 is Replenish,
something to soothe and finish it all off. My skin felt very tight
afterwards. I think I noticed a difference, slightly smaller pores,
but my skin is pretty good to begin with. If my skin were worse, I
definatly would have seen better results. Recomended 2-3 times a
week, wait 2 days inbetween, so I'll do again Friday night. Supposed
to see results immediatly and even more so after just one week. I'll
let you know.
I recorded the show and watched it when I came home:) I ordered the
3 eyeshadow set with citrus, lemon, and fruit?, and I'm on the
waiting list for liners in the green and some other color.
I'm looking for a good set for you on Ebay and at a couple of other
places. Give me a day or two and I'll track some down for you. Or
you can always talk to Lisa and see what all she has. She may be
able to get you exactly what you need.

hi all i really want some new or only tried once brushes.. i know
alot of you have said that you have alot of brushes and you only
like or use a few... i would be willing to buy them, i want all BE
brushes, but my hubby doesnt see me paying what they want for them,
so i am trying to get a good deal on some... if you are willing to
sell or trade for something let me know. thanks, manda
p.s. you can email me off board also if you like. thanks.. manda
I was watching QVC and learned a new trick from Leslie. I didn't know
that you could wear the eye liners as eyeshadow. I just tried the
Humor eyeliner from the Goddess Kit as an eyeshadow in the crease of
my eyes. WOWIE very pretty. Just thought I'd share.
Jerri
I have the soho kit, I LOVE Hot Spot! Im still contimplating the
Goddess kit but I think Im done for awhile
~Vanessa
Me too! I got what you got, plus the SoHo eye kit I've been after. What color liners? I got black ruby/black emerald.

Holy Moses! I managed to spend $90 today! I got the eyeliner/brush
set, the clear radiance/brush set and Meet the Browns. Of course,
those dirty dogs at QVC offered the Goddess kit right at 3 after I
already bought it somewhere else. Not sure if they offered the Auto
delivery with it, though. I guess if there's anything else that I
want in those future kits, I'll just hunt'em down on Ebay.
I'll behave now...promise...really, I will...

i just saw on ebay.. dont know if you want to go that way, but its there.. manda :)

I have a local Nordstrom's and went there about a week ago to get The
Present. I was only able to get a sample b/c they were sold out. They
said they would call me when they got some in. So far, no call.
Besides the online stores and Nordstrom does anyone know if it is sold
anywhere else?
Thanks,

Ok, I have now tried The Present. Between the two, I like The Present
much better than Smashbox. I have found that the Present keeps my
makeup on longer and still looking fresh. The only thing I like more
about Smashbox is that there is no waiting.
Just thought you would like to know.
Leslie
I've been just using a facial primer by Smash Box called Photo
Finish. I'm thinking about getting Benefit's Lemonade to use on my
eyes. Smashbox also makes a lid and lip primer that might be a good
thing. If it works as good as Photo Finish, then it's bound to be
good.

Hey Bliss! I actually do ban all people that spam the group. I usually don't post a message for them to stop spamming, I just ban them and move on with my day. Well this guy I banned once and he came back. It's frustrating. I like having the open membership so anyone can join, but the spammers are annoying. :) Thanks, Lisa
Bliss & Henry <bliss_n_henry@...
Lisa,
The easiest way to deal with this is to BAN the offending member.
Takes about a minute. If they join under another name, ban that
name, too.
I hate having to do things like that, but sometimes you just have to
do it. We had to do it in another group that I belong to after a
couple of the members were so hateful to Gayl (the one whose partner
died last week). We had to ban not only that couple but three other
couples who were their best friends. Since that group meets in
person on a regular basis, it can get ugly sometimes. But with this
group, being mostly web-based, you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Either that, or get yourself a moderator to do it. That's what
they're for. *grins*

If you are ever in a dinner rut may i suggest 30

in 30 minutes!!! I watch her every nite on the Food
Channel . Great Ideas. Or Quick Cooking Magazine. My
library stocks it. Helpful hints from a hapless
cook!!! (PBJ are my specialty)
when you all use the primer.. do you use an all over face primer or
an eye primer? thanks manda
I've been good,I've not bought anything!
Not that I didn't want to.
I am waiting for those brown e/s's.
Anyone bought anything yet?
The OTO heavenly face kit was a great deal.It sold out super fast too.

I think that I'm going to get the eyeliner kit with Sugarplum and
Amethyst with the brush. I caught the last ten minutes of the
first show and have been watching the one on now since it started.
Henry is smirking at me and snickering because his wife is watching
QVC...something that he never thought that I would do. Okay, it's
something that I never thought I would do, either.

It works great...if you want something to stay on and not come off! BUT you must get the gloss (?--can't remember without running upstairs but it seems like there is a primer and a gloss that you need to use with it or something like that)----it dries out your lips somewhat but you truly have to take it off..it won't come off on it's own!

Hey all.
I just saw this on the Style network, on Stripped.
Has anyone tried Lip Ink before?
Thanks,
Mich
http://www.lipink.com/topcategory.asp
They do still make White Shoulders. The last time I saw it was at
WalMart.
The best way to get your fragrance to last is to layer it. If they
make the products, use them in this order: Body Wash, Lotion,
Powder, then the regular fragrance.
When I worked for Neiman Marcus, they actually gave us a hardback
book on fragrances. We were expected to know how to explain what a
green scent was or an oriental. When people would call in to place
orders, fragrance was most often our "special value" of the day.
That was where I got turned on to Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey. I
was given the big bottle. You could have knocked me right outta my
chair. That darned thing retailed for $82! And because I sold the
most for that week, they gave me a full sized bottle. We were given
several different fragrances in the year that I worked there, most
of them smelled like your great aunt Margaret. I gave those to my
then mother-in-law.
If you have a hard time with fragrance lasting on you, try some of
the scents from Bath & Body Works. They are affordable and they are
almost always having some kind of sale where you can get a great buy
on three or more products. That's how I tend to buy from them. At
Christmas, I stock up on Vanilla Bean Noel. I get two or three of
the body creams, one or two shower gels and then two bottles of the
fragrance. I did splurge this year and got three of the
antibacterial pump soaps. I figured if I was going to have home
health nurses in and out, then they could smell like something I
liked. *grin* I also got the shimmer fragrance.
Henry just shakes his head when I head in there. Most of the time,
he just goes down the shopping center to Restoration Hardware or
over to Williams-Sonoma. He does like shopping for good candles
with me, though. I've finally got it drilled into him that cheap
candles smell...well, they smell cheap. Good candles burn longer
and the scent lasts longer. He now loves Yankee Candles and Air
Freshner and he loves the White Barn Candles from B&BW.
Enough babbling from me...

Hi,
I thought I'd post this.
I LOVE BE, but get tired of finding little pieces of
my brushes on my face.
I'm going to try lying my brushes flat or upside-down,
like they suggested.. I'm totally guilty of drying
them upright in a cup.
Maybe changing that will help.
Hope this works!

How do I clean my makeup brushes
Cleaning your makeup brushes will ensure that your
makeup brushes will last for a very long time to come
and keep them in tip top condition for your next use.
gestion
You can also simply use a good quality shampoo
such as the one you're using for your hair. Try not to
use some lower quality shampoo as they could dry the
hair out. Glycerin based soaps or cleansers are not
recommend.
* Be careful not to let any cleaner or water run
inside the ferrule, as this can weaken the glue
used to hold the hair and cause shedding
problems
or even wobbly handles.
* Always keep it at a slight angle (almost
perpendicular) with the hair tips facing
downwards, NEVER UPWARDS no matter what type of
cleaner or shampoo you are using.
1. Carefully wet the makeup brush hair.
2. Place some shampoo on your fingertips and gently
shampoo the hair. Shampoo in the direction of
the
hair. Pay special attention to the hair near the
ferrule.
3. Rinse it under gentle running water, thoroughly.
Gently press it flat in a towel to dry. It is
also a good idea to lightly press it back into
shape.
4. You can then leave it to DRY FLAT on a dry towel
or HANG it up (suspended) with the hair tip
facing down.
5. REMEMBER, never ever leave it to dry with the
hair facing down or up, in a glass or container!
Makeup brushes that dry upright (with hair
pointing or facing upwards) will begin to cause
particles to collect in, and water to run into,
the ferrule and will soon begin to cause the
hair
on the makeup brush to fan out or shed and can
even cause the handle to come loose or wobbly.

Hey Jennifer! OOOHHH I have the perfect color coming in for you! It's a peachy pink shade with very subtle gold shimmers. It will be a little darker than Sorbet and very pretty! It's not named yet, but it should be here by Friday. Keep your eye out for the post of its arrival. ;) I really think you will like this color. Actually if you want you can email me on Friday and I might have a picture of the color to send you. I can even send you a picture of it next to the Sorbet if you remind me. Thanks, Lisa :)
I am a BE user and recently fell in love with Sorbet (thanks to a make-under from Bravon).
I am curious to try the Naturally Flawless colors and was wondering which colors would be like sorbet or one shade darker.
Also-is chart to compare which colors are similar- I know there are pictures, but sometimes it is hard to tell

"Who d'you know who's lost a buttock?" Tonks c/o JKRowling Order of the Phoenix
And it's sort of funny! A few months ago, I posted about my continuing skin problems. Where after switching to philosophy, my happy little T-zone has gone into freak out mode, and now my, normally, dry cheeks were doing a combo of flaking and breaking out. My pores have never been larger (yes, they look HUGE to me!), I'm get black heads and all sorts of nasties. Even on my neck. So, I headed back to what I had used in the past before philosophy... Oil of Olay...(hey! worked for Mom for 50 yrs!). One month of that...no improvement. Switch to Neutrogena...6 weeks of that, no improvement. So, into the BE store I go. I had checked out MD Formulations on their website and was armed and ready to go. (I really hate boutiques where you get swarmed when you walk in the door!) So, hubby in tow, I'm pulling off what their website says I need....over comes helpful older saleslady. We discuss why I think I need the Problem Prone kit. She yells (it's a little store) to this
girl that we need a consult. Turns out Leslie (no, not Blogett) owns the store. (I didn't know BE had any independantly owned stores!). Now, this chickadee couldn't have been more than 25, 28 tops. Hehe. (Keep in mind there are 2 other older customers in the store and two extremely bored and confused hubbys, mine included!) Leslie looks at me and says "But you have gorgeous skin!" She starts to continue babbling and I laid my hand on her wrist and said "No. I have on Bare Minerals!" Well both older customers sat down in the two chairs by the makeup spread and said "we need the full makeover!" My hubby burst out laughing! So, I told her my problems, she asked a lot of insightful questions, and I hope, got me hooked up. So, now, here I sit all exfoliated, antioxidized, hydrated and eye creamed. ROFL. And here I wanted a simple routine! It sure was nice, though, to talk to someone that a) seemed to care b) listened to my concerns c) discussed options with me d)
knew what they were talking about and e) didn't try to sell me the most expensive thing in the store. It was more like...get this kit, that is your cheapest option, should last you 4-6 weeks and if that doesn't get it, we'll try something else, and when we get it right, THEN we'll talk about the full sized higher priced items. Ahhh refreshing. Oh, yea, and I came out with some Bark liner and Hope (in the pink family) glimmer.
Ah, and interesting tidbit....there is a line, whether it be BE, MD Formulations, or their spa line, that has edible body dust and lotions and even a...um...sexy little weekend kit full of lotions, oils and feathers!. Needless to say, that is where I pried hubby from when I left. Lisa...can you find out anything about these? Hehehe.
Hugs,
Donna

Well, I'm not really too big on perfumes. (That girlie Girl, thing, ya know?) I've been wearing Estee Lauder's Beautiful since I was, I think, 15 or so. I do NOT do sweet scents or food scents. More power to you ladies that do! Hubby once bought me Sun Moon and Stars by Lagerfield and it was OK. I recently tried philosophy's Amazing Grace and I like that too. I like clean, light scents (that stay awhile is even better), not to much musk, and not too much sweet, like flowery sweet. Maybe all the Avon Sweet Honesty as a kid killed that for me. ROFL. I did just order the dupes of Beautiful and Amazing Grace. I have on BE's Perfect Black Dress (or is it Little Black Dress?) and I really like it. It's starting to fade now after about 3 hrs. Sort of heavy at first, then went into this citrusy smell that was pretty nice, and then just nice...please don't ask me to describe it...ROFL. I guess it is time to get my head out of the sand and be more girlie girl...now that
I gots me some *pink* eyeshadow and all. ROFL.

Okay, we've talked about what our favourite BE colours are and
that's been great fun. Now I want to know something else: What are
your favourite fragrances?
For me, I absolutely love MAC MV2, Taste and Demeter's Angel Food
Cake. I could go on for a while about Demeter fragrances like
Graham Cracker, Sugar Cookie, Brownie, Dulce de Leche and Cinnamon
Toast, but man, would you girls ever get bored! I also love Bath &
Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel and their Rice Flower & Shea. I can
only get the first at holiday times and the other, I know they are
going to discontinue it on me like they do everything else I really
like there.
Where do you buy most of your fragrances? In store? Online? Ebay?
I buy all of my Demeter online at either their site or from one
dealer on Ebay whose ID is awhummer. Willow has an awesome
selection of Demeter. I order my Taste products from Sephora if the
price goes to high on Ebay. And I get my MAC MV2 at Dillards at my
favourite counter, the MAC department. I swear, just walking
through that department has the ability to give me the Big Happy.

Vanessa,
Did you get the coordinating Taste Body Shimmer? I have a sample of
that and cannot wait to get the full size container! I get more
compliments when I wear the Taste Fragrance. When people ask me
what it is and I simply reply, "Taste" you'd be surprised at how
many arch an eyebrow and lean in to sniff and/or try to take a
lick. Granted, it's people that I know, but it's still kind of
funny.

I really like this group too. =0) I've become a
group-addict because of it. The kids are always asking
when I'm going to be done. :0)
I ocassionally look at the Delphi group as well, but
would never even think to post anything. It's a
totally different feel there.
It seems, unless you've been part of the group for
quite awhile, if you ask a question the only response
you get is "check previous posts". I don't know about
you, but I can never find the previous ones they're
talking about.
Anyway, this group is awesome. And I really don't mind
hearing the same question more than once.. it seems,
more often than not, that it's given with yet another
helpful tip. I love that!
As for your posts, I thought you might have gone to
school for something like that. I'm glad you like
posting with humor.. It's awesome to know we all feel
comfortable being ourselves with each other.
Well, I'm off to make dinner... I'm in a menu-rut this
week. Good thing the kids aren't too picky today!
Have an awesome night!

Oh you sound like me. My eye combos consist of some combo either
Bamboo all over lid, lined with Chicory or Pond, Faith or Envy or
Celery or Pond in crease
or
Shantung all over lid, lined with Retro, Queen Tiff or Hottie or
Downtown in crease
or
Retro all over lid, lined with Queen Tiff or Hottie or Downtown, same
color as liner in crease
I have over 100 colors, but I seem to only use these same
combinations, save for when I get new colors in, then I'll mix it up
for a week or so, but the it's back to my tried and true.

Yuck, I hope Creamy and Luscious weren't the only two flavors you
tried! I bought the 41$ gift set a while ago and I must say, those to
flavors: not my favorite.
I prefer Dreamy and Taste. The flavors aren't true to the actual food
(but then again, what edible cosmetic is?) but it has a pleasant taste
that I love.
For me, the staying power is really good, I can put this gloss on in
the morning, and by the time work is over (9 hours later) I can still
taste it on my lips (plus a minor touch up after lunch). As long as
you don't lick or pucker your lips, you're fine.
V
I got my Luscious & creamy Jessica Simpson lipglosses last week and
after trying them out... I've decided I probably won't buy them again
or buy any other "flavors". On me, they offer barely any color and
definetely no staying power. The taste isn't that great either. But,
of course I'll keep using them over my regular lipstick until I run
out. They do smell good at least :)
I also got my taste perfume and body powder the same day. all I can
say is YUMMY!! It smells soooo good! I do wish it lasted a bit longer
but that's ok.
~Vanessa
I just found a 5-piece trial size of UD Gunk, they're flavored lip
glosses, no shipping cost. I'll let you know if I like them, you all
know how EXTREMLY anal i am about flavored lip glosses:) hate most
every type of flavor, prefere no taste at all!!!!! and that goes for
lipstick too. I guess that's the other plus with the UD lip ink, no
taste:)
Hi I just wanted to share some of my favorite color combos. I have green eyes with gold in them. I also have brunette hair.
vanilla sugar all over lid and under brow, queen Tiffany in V, I use Thistle blush with this.
vanilla sugar under the brow, BF glam on lid and Purrfect in V, I wear Sedona blush with this.
vanilla sugar under the brow, trust on the lid and Queen Tiffany in the V, I wear compassion blush with this.
I wear one of these combos almost everyday even though I have tons of other colors.

My tube of Naked Lip Ink arrived yesterday. I put it on and layered
some Burt's Beeswax lip balm over it. That was 8 last night. I ate
dinner (steak and salad) drank probably 4 glasses of green peach tea
and canoodled with the hubby. When I got up at 7 this morning to
let out the howler we call Spike (yr old cocker who howls like a
freakin banshee on crack), I was surprised to see that I still had
some colour to my lips.
I definitely will exfoliate my lips before I use it next time. It
will cling to the tiniest little flake on your lips and make it
really dark. I figure some gentle exfoliator and a toothbrush
should do it. I'd love to have some more LipScuff from the Body
Shop but the only one in town closed it's doors 3 years ago to make
room for the Origins Shop. On one hand, I get my favourite skin
care in one spot but I really miss the goodies from the Body Shop.
Their Mama Toto line is just incredible and smells so yummy. I
could really use one of those Mama Toto cocoa butter sticks to
smooth around my incision on my back which is so itchy and dry right
now.
I was thinking that with the Lip Ink, I would layer one of Jessica
Simpson's lipglosses over it. That way when the gloss was gone
there would still be some colour there.

It didn't last all day the way my covergirl outlast does. By the end
of work, the outside edges were still pretty dark, but I had lost the
inside of the lips. It was ok though, I just put some lipstick on
the center and the ink was working like a lip liner at that point.
The one advantage is that it is a stain, feels natural on your lips,
like your not wearing anything at all, and lipgloss goes over it
really well.Worth the price? I haven't decided yet, I don't know how
long a tube lasts. I am going to get one more in a lighter shade
though, just to see.
I love cupcake too!!!! the bag is very small, definitly evening, the
gloss is more peachy, coopery than pink in my opinion, but very nice,
I don't remember the blush, my daughter stole it. The brush is great,
though. It's one of the kits I got along the 2005 collection, and
godess. I was looking to get brushes at the time with my kits and I
love pinks.

it looks pretty.. manda
I wanted to add something. . .
I'm going to try this tomorrow with the minerals, but I'm guessing that it will work better if you foil the colors on. I used the Pigments which are more pigmented and when I blended them together, it took the 'edge' off and left a pretty subtle look. I think if you apply the minerals dry it will be harder to blend them without blending away all the color. Am I making sense? Thanks, Lisa :)

Ah, thank you, Mich! I was an English major when I was back in

On several of the groups that I belong to, I have to play grammer
police. Suck as it may, sometimes you just have to correct a post
in red and send it back to the person who wrote it. In one group,
most of the men think I'm a raging beyotch because I take them to
task on a regular basis.
I posted to the delphi forum BE Addicts and to tell the truth, I
find them to be a bit on the snobby side. It seems unless you are
fawning all over them, you are pretty much nobody. That, and if you
don't have the big, sparkly signature line, well, you might as well
not exist. That's the joy of a group like this one. You're
accepted no matter what your experience with BE. It doesn't matter
if you haven't bought kit after kit after kit and aren't on Auto-
delivery for everything under the sun. You could have bought a
single sample and tried it, fell in love with it and now you want
more. That's what this group is about.
We can come here and talk about anything. We can vent if we really
need it or we can really rave about the product. I love this
place! It's the first group I check every morning and the last
group that I check at night.

Hey girls! I was at the mall the other day and while I was checking out at one of the stores, the girl cashing me out had her eye shadow applied in a unique sort of way. So . . tonight while I was waiting for my daughter to finish playing in the tub I decided to play around. I used MAC pigments, that's why there is soo much sparkle everywhere. It would have turned out better if I had used mineral eye shadows (it wouldn't look like I had pixy dust allover my eyes ;), but the pigment jars were closer. :)
It looked like she had a light purple allover her lid with a light green right in the middle over her pupil. This is what it turned out like . . .
closed eye . . .
Ah, thank you, Mich! I was an English major when I was back in
school a couple of years ago. I've always been a bit verbose. I
try to write with a bit of humour.
On several of the groups that I belong to, I have to play grammer

4 little words . . URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION!!!
This is by far the best product out there to keep your eye shadows put. I have the oiliest eye lids around and no matter what I tried, my shadows always ended up in the crease after a few hours. At $14 a bottle, it's a little pricey in my opinion, but its well worth it! Just so you know, almost everyone likes it . . . on makeupalley.com's product reviews out of 134, 88% would rebuy this primer. You can purchase it at a few different online retailers. I got my first bottle off of ebay. It lasted me roughly 6 months. I just bought my second bottle at sephora.com. Here are links to a couple different places . . .

I can't get Sephora's website to pull up right now, but they have it to. www.sephora.com
Thanks, Lisa :)

granted these stay on many times longer than b. BE... (before BE)
shadows.. do i put on a primer.. does be have this or ???
please let me know. step by step if you could as i am still
learning..thanks manda
Ha, Manda! I asked this same question about a month ago. I've always lost my shadow into the crease of my eyes...and I was loosing my liner too! Lisa and Jade turned me on to Urban Decay's Primer Potion. Awesome stuff! I bought it from urbandecay.com. It's like $12 for a little bottle (I bought two), but it lasts a long time. The first time I used it, when I showered after work, I had to post "OK, now how do I get the shadow to come OFF???" Eye makeup remover does the trick just fine. Give it a try if you can.
Hugs,
Donna

Good Day Ladies,
I am new to this group & a new fan of this product.
Sent a similar email to Lisa, stating I have spent hundreds of $ on lazer
treatments to rid my face (or at least reduce the apperence) of broken
capillaries (it DIDN'T work) (ps. I'm not that old, I shouldn't have broken
veins on my face, but they say it is from sun damage, from when I was a kid
& spent every day at the pool in the summer)ANY WAY Could not find a make
up to conceal with out looking caked on. I GIVE UP. Saw the BE infomertial
on tv, thought it's worth a try. (don't want to put forth a bunch on money
AGAIN on something that may not work) Found Lisa on ebay. Just got the
sample kit today, tried it right away. OMG!!! It WORKS. I'll be looking for
tips on the foundations & other products..I'll be a lifer now.
Lisa, Bless you.

Hey Manda! I'm 90% sure they are $3 for a 1/4 teaspoon sample. :) Thanks, Lisa

hi lisa, how much are the mac pigments gonna be and for what size?
just thought id ask..love the colors.. decesions, decisions, your
driving me nuts with all the choices..lol.. i love it!! lol thanks
manda
Hi Lisa, Thanks for the welcome and the colors! I'm waiting for a
couple or orders that should come in later this week. I have several
that you recommended already on the way. Yay! I can't wait to try
them! But I don't have any of the lid colors. So I'll probably be
making an order soon. As soon as I can sneak it by hubby. ;)
Thanks again and I'm sure I'll be back with more questions.

Lisa,
Just wanted to let you know I got mine and tried the Creamsicle out
first. It really seemed to work on my husband Saturday. Thanks a
lot for getting this sampler together!
BE shows on QVC on 3/23: Does anyone know which items will be in
which segment? I get home around 4:20 EST and will check it out.

The MAC Pigments aren't minerals and aren't all natural. =( I just thought it would be fun to add them to the site since I sell them on ebay. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Lisa :)
bbabmontret <bbabmontret@...
At the end of your message you'd said "PLUS all 24 MAC
Pigments"?
Can I find these on the MAC website?
I saw a listing for Mineralize Eye Shadow, but there
were WAAAY more than 24 colors.
